I've acquired A/UX 2.0 to install on my IIci, 200M conner disk.  I cannot
seem to locate in the reams of doc.s info. on the specific relationship
between A/UX and MacOS partitions.  Further, the installation doc.s
ackowledge existance ONLY of apple 80 and 160M drives, and apparently,
so does "Apple HD SC".  (so much for unix for the rest of us...mutter, mutter,
grumble, moan).

What is the "proper" way to partition this disk given that 1) I need to be,
at times, working strickly within the mac. environment.  2)  I would like
to maintain fluid interchange of mac and A/UX files, and 3)  I've always
wanted my very own Unix workstation.

More specifically, do I understand correctly that the standard A/UX 
installation sets up a bare bone Mac file system whose sole purpose is
to get the machine up and running under A/UX.  This implies I need to 
reload all my "mac apps" into a unix file system.  If I need to be
mac-only, does this mean I need to allow for a MUCH bigger mac-partition?

I'm confused as hell...
